  3. In-Service Content • Introductions and Agenda • Components of the WWMP • Body Composition Assessment • Procedure for “Alpha Weigh-In” DAN wrestling weight monitoring program

  4. In-Service Content • Changes from last year • Q & A • LAB: practical assessment of athletes • Test and Evaluation

  5. REMINDERS • Wrestlers are allowed to compete at their approved lowest minimum (competitive) weight during an appeal for a lower weight. • Wrestlers are allowed to begin losing 1.5% immediately following the Alpha Weigh-In. It does not matter if they plan to appeal or not. • Established: JANUARY 15th as the LAST date for hydrostatic/DXA appeals. • Established: 48-hour“wait period” for all wrestlers that FAILthe specific gravity test for both skinfold AND hydrostatic/DXA assessments and appeals. • Wrestlers MUST participate in “Skinfold” assessment FIRST! They may NOT be assessed using Hydro or DXA to start. 9 / 13 / 48

  6. Healthy Training • Emphasis should be placed on training NOT weight loss • Emphasis on lifelong healthy living • Consequences of dehydration

  7. Training the Coach • Basic Concepts of Weight Management and Nutritional Guidelines • Seminar to educate the coaches on healthy eating habits, safe weight-loss techniques and dangers of improper weight-loss.

  8. Educating the Athlete & Parent • Video • Individual program presentations • Web based Nutrition/Weight Management program

  17. Training the Skinfold Instructor (cont’d) • Produce professional skinfold assessors • Experience and background check • Theory and practical exposure • Required registration fee

  18. Responsibilities: Skinfold Assessor Program For Wrestling Weight Monitoring Assessors

  19. Roles & Responsibilities: Skinfold Assessor • Providing a service to member schools of the MHSAA • Model for young athletes • Regard for “right to privacy” (HIPAA / FERPA) • Confidentiality of information

  20. Responsibilities: Skinfold Assessor • Maintain current registration • Contract with school prior to Alpha Weigh-In • Fee for service - no more than $5.00 per athlete • Arrive Early • Enter data online (www.trackwrestling.com) using your assessor password • Serve as the resident “expert” • Encouraged to “stay current” 12

  21. Responsibilities:Skinfold Assessor • Lange or Harpenden skinfold calipers • Assess and record each of the three (3) measurements to the nearest .5 mm, for each site • GREATER than 3 mm difference will be RETURNED • Record skinfold measurements for data entry 8 / 51 / 54

  22. Responsibilities:Skinfold Assessor • Check all worksheets for accuracy BEFORE entering data online. • If more than one (1) assessor is involved, make sure each wrestler is being entered online under the specific assessor’s username and password that assessed that wrestler. 46

  23. Responsibilities: Participating School • Complete data worksheets (last page of the “Skinfold Assessor Handbook”) except for specific gravity and skinfold data • Ensure that wrestlers are on time and prepared for assessment

  24. Responsibilities: Participating School Program For Wrestling Weight Monitoring Assessors

  25. Responsibilities:Participating School • Contact a REGISTERED skinfold assessor • Provide adult volunteers (preferably five) for: • 1. Check-in of Wrestlers (paper work) • 2. Specific gravity (health professional) • 3. Weigh-in • 4. Skinfold measurement recording Wrestling coaching staff is EXCLUDED from ANY testing responsibilities or data entry 22 / 55-57 / 58-60

  26. Responsibilities:Participating School • Purchase: Bayer Multistix 10SG (#2161) • Supply weight monitoring “Data Forms” provided by the MHSAA • Pens/Pencils • Certified scales used for the “Alpha Weigh-In” (balance scales recorded up to nearest ¼ lb; digital 1/10lb) 10 / 11

  27. Responsibilities:Participating School • Prepare wrestlers for Alpha Weigh-In: • Undergarments / loose shorts & t-shirt • Collection cups • Secure private, controlled area for specific gravity assessment Remind schools that wrestlers MUST participate in “Skinfold” assessment FIRST! They may NOT be assessed using Hydro or DXA to start. 6

  28. Responsibilities:Participating School • FEE guidelines • LIMIT: $5.00 per student • Fewer than six (6) wrestlers assessed on single date, one (1) site, assessor permitted to charge mileageat current IRS rate OR$30.00 service fee 32

  29. Responsibilities: MHSAA Program For Wrestling Weight Monitoring Assessors

  30. Responsibilities of the MHSAA • Prepare and register skinfold assessors • Work with TrackWrestling in monitoring the website and entry of data • Administrate all aspects of the hydro/DXA appeal process

  31. Responsibilities of the MHSAA • Maintain a file of hydrostatic/DXA assessments • Maintain a file of “Physicians Clearance” • Field calls from assessors and wrestling coaches pertaining to WWMP Sub 7% or 12% May not wrestle until clearance has been received and marked by the MHSAA. 34

  32. HYDRATION Program For Wrestling Weight Monitoring Assessors

  33. Hydration Requirement • Athletes MUST be in a proper state of hydration to determine their correct alpha weight • Students may NOT exercise before the Alpha Weigh-In • Specific gravity assessment of the urine will determine whether the wrestler may participate in the skinfold measurement process 31

  34. Hydration Requirement • This is simply a PASS / FAIL assessment • Specific gravity >1.025g/ml is a FAILED test • “Alpha Weigh-In” mustbe conducted before the athletes participate in that day’s practiceor conditioning • No sweaty (and possibly dehydrated) athletes! 7 / 31

  35. Specific Gravity Assessment Procedure Product used: Bayer Multistix 10S (#2161) Make sure they include Specific Gravity Band #4 Check expiration date! Store in cool, dry place Other Supplies needed: • Latex Free Gloves • Collection Cups • Biohazard Bags

  36. Check expiration date at the top of label DO NOT USE expired product

  37. Specific Gravity Assessment Procedure It is helpful to cut off squares up to Specific Gravity section (“olive” section) to make dipping and reading easier Available from various sources, including Miotech Sport Medical Supply, Holt, MI www.miotechstore.com (“Sundry Supplies” Tab) Other sources available via Google

  38. CUT HERE Hydration—Specific Gravity Band

  39. This is the only band we will focus on Simplify the process! Cut the strip between band four (4) and five (5)

  40. Dip Multistix and immediately remove from urine

  41. a. Wipe excess urine on rim of container b. Air dry for 45 seconds c. Match band color with gravity band on bottle 27

  42. Compare the Multistix with the specific gravity band on the bottle Simply looking for PASS / FAIL Must Read <1.025 7

  43. Specific Gravity Assessment Procedure (cont’d) • Instruct athletes to drink 6-10 glasses of water daily for 2-3 days PRIOR to this test • Don’t go over board with water the “day of” as it may throw off actual weight • Avoid beverages high in caffeine • Instruct athletes to urinate at least 1-2 times during the day PRIOR to this test to prevent urine from becoming too concentrated 15

  44. Specific Gravity Assessment • School volunteers control the environment • Provide collection cup for one athlete at a time • Athletes enter a secured area, one at a time • Athlete collects a midstream sample & holds OWN specimen during test

  45. Specific Gravity Assessment • Test: Dip Multistix and remove immediately holding horizontally • Hold horizontal, wait 45 seconds and then compare to color strip • Continue with skinfold assessment if SG <1.025 (passing) • NO weight or skinfolds if SG >1.025 • Athlete: empty cup in toilet, cup in waste receptacle 25

  46. Technical Information & ASSESSMENT Program For Wrestling Weight Monitoring Assessors

  47. Body Composition Prediction Methods • Bioelectric Impedance - Analysis (BIA) • Skeletal Anthropometric - Widths (SAW) • Near Infa-Red (NIR) • Computed Tomographs (CT scan) • Bod Pod • Hydrostatic Weighing (HW) • Skinfold Assessment (SF)

  48. Body Composition Prediction Methods • Comparison of Methods Considerations • Cost • Availability • Time • Validity • Reliability • Why Skinfold Assessment? The degree to which an assessor obtains an accurate measure of the skinfold site 29 / 30

  49. Body Composition Prediction • Skinfold Assessment Terminology • Total Body Weight (TBW) • Body Density (BD) Mass of the body per unit volume • Lean Body Mass (LBM) • Percent Body Fat (%BF) 3

  50. Body Composition Prediction • Lean Body Mass (LBM) Muscle & bone mass predicted to be in the body • Muscle mass • Bone mass • Provides for activity • Support structure • Use and production of blood 1
